JAKARTA Men's doubles athlete Fajar Alfian and women's doubles Apriyani Rahayu were selected as the captain of the Indonesian team for the prestigious Thomas & Uber Cup 2024 event.

This election is based on the voting results of all athletes who are members of the team for the Chengdu tournament, China, from April 27 to May 5, 2024.

"The task and responsibility to be captain of the team is quite heavy, but when the other colleagues trust us, we are ready to carry out this task," said Fajar.

A total of 20 players were sent by the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) to face this tournament. The number consists of 10 male players and 10 female players.

Fajar and Apri as team leaders stated that they would maintain solidity and cohesiveness as the key to the team's strength.

"That is what we will continue to maintain and strengthen. Communication is also important, how to support it when our friends are playing, when they manage to contribute points or fail to contribute points," said Apri.

The Thomas & Uber Indonesia team will depart for Chengdu, China, on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, early morning WIB, using the Cathay Airlines CX798 aircraft via Hong Kong.

The men's team is targeted to bring home the title from the event. Meanwhile, the women's team took the task of qualifying for the semifinals.
